Letzring pleads guilty to lewd act with teen

David Eric Letzring, 50, of Ramona, pleaded guilty Friday, Feb. 5, to one count of committing a lewd act with a 15-year-old girl. He faces up to six years in state prison, said Deputy District Attorney Ben Tao.

Sentencing was set for March 24 by El Cajon Superior Court Judge Charles Ervin. Three other similar charges involving the same girl were dropped when he pleaded guilty to one count. The incident took place on Halloween in the Borrego Springs area.

“He actually stipulated to (receiving a six-year) sentence,” said Tao.

Letzring was arrested Nov. 5 by sheriff’s deputies. The teen-age girl told a school official about the incident and the sheriff’s department was contacted.

Letzring has a prior criminal record for two burglaries, said Tao. He remains in the Vista Detention Facility. His attorney could not be reached for comment.
